I dont know exactly, my guess is that film compresses the information in a way that looks better to our eyes, even though it is within the same information envelope as the digital device can capture. ...

No, unfortunately. One has to go further north in the country. We live in the Stockholm area, I have only seen it here once. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the detailed info, and I will check out the astrophotography forum. Unfortunately for me, the late night showed that our nights now in Sweden, as we are getting in to the summer, are ...

Thanks Mark. I think manual focus at infinity should work?

OK - here is some  info. I am at our country house - very little light pollution. I have a small tripod with me. I have a FF DSLR, s Nikon D600, and a APS-C DSLR, Nikon D3400. The lenses I have ...

What an incredibly clear day today. The moon more visible than I remember in broad daylight. Wonder if it has anything to do with reduced air travel. Anyway, I am thinking about shooting the stars ...

The 17-55 is much heavier, so much that you might not bring your camera with you as much as before. Just something to consider.

When I see the image comparing the D3500 and the Z7 with the pancake I cant help to reflect on the fact that the 3500 kit cost about 10x less... (With a Z50 instead the difference would still be ...

Really? I had no idea. Mine worked flawlessly the years I had it. It was a beauty, especially with my favourite lens, the 85 1.7 MC Rokkor.

My favourite Minolta is the XE-1 (also sold as XE and XE-7). The feeling of premium build and the smoothness of the shutter/mirror is exceptional. It was the basis of the Leica R3. I would go for a ...

Checked - from Wikipedia: "The Autoreflex T was the first focal plane shutter 35mm SLRs with auto-exposure and TTL metering combined in one body. In Japan it was sold as FTA, in Germany as Revue ...

I think you will feel more at home with a D610 - it is full frame and the lenses will behave as you are used to (no 1.5 crop factor). If you have old Nikkor AI lenses you can use them almost as on ...

I believe the Konica T3 auto reflex (shutter prefered auto exposure) had a mechanical shutter (I have owned one, but many years ago).

Thanks! Are the MF lenses easy to focus with the Z6? I have never used focus peaking, but I have heard that many are positive about it.

Thanks! For still objects it is rather easy, and you can always check the focus confirmation dot. But if you shoot moving subjects at large apertures it is much more difficult.

Thanks!

Tack!

Thanks! She likes to make eye contact and often looks straight at you with those intense blue eyes.

This weekend I decided to give a few of my my old Ai-lenses a workout. If you have a bunch of these vintage lenses a used D600 or D610, which can be had very cheap these days, is a very usable ...

entoman: I think the Porst was actually a version/copy of the Praktica LB which looks pretty similar. It had an uncoupled selenium meter (didn't need batteries) in a little window on the side of...
